Alexandra Posted November 13, 1998 Share Posted November 13, 1998 Several people have mentioned they'd like to see more Tudor revived. Now, I've always wanted to adore Tudor -- I love reading about him, but except for Lilac Garden (which I can imagine how it should look) I don't feel I've ever seen a ballet of his really live on stage -- so I'm not the best person to draw up a list of Tudor Revivables. However, I'd be at the head of the queue to see them! What should be revived? Feel free to nominate the proper company or dancers. "The best ballet takes place in the mind" has long been the DanceView (Ballet Alert's older sister) motto. Link to comment
Steve Keeley Posted November 14, 1998 Share Posted November 14, 1998 People always talk about Tudor's "Lilac Garden," but that one left me cold. The Tudor ballet that I liked best (although I haven't seen many) was "Leaves are Fading." Watching this ballet was a special, magical experience; it took me completely out of the time and place I was in, and into it's own plane of existence where time has a different meaning.

Guest Nan Keating Posted November 30, 1998 Share Posted November 30, 1998 Tudor's Gala Performance is wonderful if properly done with three great ballerinas. Takes quite a company to pull it off. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted November 30, 1998 Share Posted November 30, 1998 Some people say it's Proustian; I don't care if it's Faustian or Jacobean or Armenian: I love "Dim Lustre". Link to comment
